So, that coma's coming any minute now ...

... so a few things. :)

1. Me on the anything goes meme.
2. I'm going to do a final head count of the apocalyptothon, and then theoretically go to sleep, and then get back up again and open a submissions post. So, you know, there's your warning. (*stagewhispers* See, the way you cheat is, you run the whole damn ficathon and then in the beginning when you're compiling the list of fandoms and you get down to the tie towards the bottom you can be completely freakin' biased and pick your favorite. :))
2a. You know, if someone wanted to make me a pretty icon that says, "As the mod, I reserve the right to smack you around with a drunken squirrel," I'd be eighty tons of grateful. Really, sometimes that's EXACTLY how I feel. *snickers*
3. There needs to be better television in the mornings. Damn it, TV, I need you to keep me awake at six in the morning, not put me to sleep.
4. D'AWWWWWW. I printed that out and brought it to work with me last night and it made me smile even when I wanted to punch someone.
5. The vehemence with which I spent most of the night wanting to punch someone can mean only one thing -- thank God I bought tampons the other day.

Come, my minions ...

The submissions post for apocalyptothon is open!

There's forty fandoms this time around since the response is greater. For the record, Supernatural pretty much kicked every other fandom's ass, at least until I smooshed together SG-1 and SGA as one fandom. (Although before I did that I counted every Stargate vote as one for each, but since there weren't many of those, I think it was about even.)

The Colbert Report/The Daily Show made the list. Someone IS going to email the Colbert Report when this is over and pimp it, right? Because if anyone would actually appreciate post-apocalyptic fanfic written about his show, it'd probably be Stephen Colbert. :)

New kitty!

My mom's getting a new kitten!

She's not getting him for another couple of months or so -- I think she said the mommy cat's still pregnant -- but she's getting it from the same breeder she got George The Big Blue Ox from. (George, who's like eight months old and the size of a house. He's got HUGE paws ... I think I said something to my mother about how with the kitten coming from the same breeder we should be able to harness the two of them to a sleigh and ride them around at Christmastime.)

But, YAY! Kitten! \o/

Also, my grandfather's coming to visit this weekend. Speaking of cats, we're definitely going to have to do a Siamese head count at the house before he leaves. I have complete faith he could pack Owen into a carry-on bag. God knows Owen and his Gumby arms are certainly bendy enough.
